If it is personalities that keep O&C from running on one ticket, that
makes little sense, as the two offices don't intersect so often that
it'd be a problem down the line. I just want the details about why
Pelosi is so very against it. 

Until yesterday, I thought  Clinton had some small chance to turn
things in her favor, but the momentum is gone now and there is no way
to regain it.   

Obama is young enough that he could still go on to be Pres if he took
veep, but if she takes it, that's really it for her. But I think
that's it for her anyway, and I think Richardson will get the nod.
